The untwist resulted in no eviction, and all coaches entering the game. Boogie was the only one who didn't vote to enter. If all had said no, there would have been a hamster revival.

As Danielle's HOH grinds to a halt (Wednesday 8/8)

Britney woke up Danielle by telling her Boogie knows she's a nurse, leading Danielle to complain that Shane's mean to her and maybe she still has a boyfriend (Trey) back home - I don't know.. Britney's clearly getting tired of this babysitting job, and suggested Danielle back off from pursuing Shane and do the hamster equivalent of "don't return his texts"

Janelle kept making rounds asking for and being promised votes that won't come, and being generally shunned when present and trashed when not.. she's not stupid, especially when it comes to reading hamsters, but she might be surprised by Wil's vote in particular, since he put another pinkyswear on my tally about his.. Britney wanted to warn her, even shedding a tear or two over feeling bad about the constant lies.. Dan said he'd back her up out of "coaches respect", but Boogie counseled them against it since "she tried to scumbag me"

Janelle shmoozed Frank for a bit, complimenting him on his game and saying it was "almost Dr Will status" (no, she doesn't believe that - I spell it my way but I use this definition).. I suspect she was planting seeds for a garden to grow after she's gone - she doesn't have to be present to get revenge.. Frank reported it to Wil, who said she was just campaigning for viewer favorite, and to Boogie, adding that it seemed genuine - Boogie was suitably shocked.. Ian suggested a hinky vote to Danielle which would be fun.. Britney tried to cement a perma-duo arrangement with Ian and he agreed, but he was careful to add he wasn't calling it a Final Two deal.. Ashley's back problem returned in the form of sciatica, and she saw the doc again

They had their halfway party with pizza, pasta, music, a photo cake, and booze.. they blocked that from us (conveniently when the CBS show was on for half the country) but apparently Joe head-butted Willie's cake pic, and Janelle started a cake fight which brought an end to the party.. usually the halfway party is a few days late but it's Day 33 and the finale's slated for September 19 - you do the math.. Wil & Ashley went feline for fun.. Shane scorned them for it but Danielle didn't hear that and got herself catted up too

It was a rocky day for the nomance, with Shane zinging Danielle a few times.. she said she blew it by picking up the 100-pound weight in front of (whoever) and thus letting slip how strong she is, but he argued that it isn't 100 pounds.. he also zinged her about yesterday's workout with Janelle - see Lines of the Day below.. most of them have named Joe as their target next week so the usual pattern would have him becoming HOH tomorrow.. yes it would be unbearable on a decibel level but it would make them all so miserable, I'm willing to make the sacrifice

All the bickery was forgotten on both sides by Showtime, when the gruesome twosome started wrestling like pre-adolescent siblings.. it got rather extreme and so did the many crotch shots as her shorts kept slipping around in ways they weren't designed to do.. she knows there are cameras in there but she's clearly unaware of what that really means, or how many are watching, or how the caps and chops will be around forever.. oh well, there's always some who don't do their research or read their contracts before going in there

Hamster-hate out here is building up to nasty proportions, like it does.. many will be glad to see the back of Janelle a third time, and some think a Save Janelle petition will make a difference - really? This show does what it wants despite viewers' wishes and often to spite them, but I guess ignorance is bliss.. Janelle will be a loss to the feeds but she's a different Janelle than she was seven and eight seasons ago, and she doesn't have a Howie or Kaysar to team up with to entertain overnight feedsters.. one coach down is a good thing, but I will die laughing if TPTB save her somehow: the riots out here will be bloody and stupid, and mainstream media might finally make them put this stale worn-out show out its misery.. (I'd say it might make them change it up and rejuvenate it, but we know better than to hope for that)

Pitch and bitch (Tuesday 8/7)

That was the theme of the day, as Janelle made her rounds asking for votes, resulting in retells all over town about what a liar she is.. she asked Danielle & Britney to work out with her, and the two of them bitched about that until they worked out with her, and then they bitched about it some more afterward

Some of them agreed to let Janelle know she'll walk the plank to Julie's boudoir just before she does, but barring any spectacular events between now and then, she'll probably know anyway.. Danielle wrote her tweets and her blog, and the camera came out for happy silly poses - as far as I know, nobody's pics were deleted, but I could be wrong.. they got the basketball hoop pool toy but it was broken within two minutes, by Boogie

I didn't follow the details of most of the day's convos or retells but they're still planning to boot Janelle.. they did get a booze delivery but she didn't explode, other than to incite a backyard dance and toss Britney around a bit - hey, it's been working okay for Frank.. Wil, Jenn, Ashley played and partied in the backyard most of the evening, while the others gathered around the chess table for poker, played with adapted conversation cards

It was a slow day for As Danielle's World Turns.. Britney gave them relationship counseling for awhile in their bed, but it didn't turn out so well - Danielle ended up on the couch glaring, if I may use her patented word.. Shane never gave Danielle the kiss he promised for putting up Janelle, but he tried to give her a promised backrub: she laid on the bed facing the spyscreen so she could see if Dan arrived, which he did (but she told him she'd been watching for Janelle).. after some teasing and gametalk he finally left, Danielle's shirt came off again and Shane climbed onto her again, rubbed her some, then hopped off and left quickly.. he joined Janelle & Joe for a bit in the backyard, and that was that

Down and almost out (Monday 8/6)

Per plan, Danielle veto'd Wil off the block and put up Janelle in his place.. since Britney's a lousy liar on top of the HOH crew not answering the door last night, Janelle wasn't blindsided and no fireworks ensued.. she was obviously disappointed, and said she should have worn makeup.. Danielle was more upset, going on that Janelle had glared at her, taunted and threatened her, and that she was making BB history, while worrying if she'll be seen as a villain and if she'd done the right thing

Janelle's rallied in the past and saved herself from certain eviction, but after this morning's pre-dawn revelation that Wil & Jenn hate her and those two teaming up with Ashley, it doesn't seem like she'll stick this time unless Dan is somehow outed in a house meeting, and that doesn't seem likely.. Janelle fans & haters are going at it with each other, and Danielle's getting the credit/blame out here by those who haven't been paying attention

Janelle isn't my first choice to go but we need a coach out at any cost, so so be it - she can go home to Violet & hubby, and take to Twitter instead of rotting in the jury house for weeks.. since veterans are in charge of yet another season, I would have preferred a Janelle vs Boogie bloodbath or even Janelle vs Dan, but instead it looks like we'll be lulled to sleep for weeks by Dan's and Boogie's minions punching it out with cotton balls.. I hope Ian can duck as well as quack

They got badminton, and alliances kept forming here and there, large and small - I think there are about 15 in place now.. just when you think this season couldn't get more ridiculous, it does.. Joe made family dinner again, which they all ate happily again with compliments to the chef, and most of them bitched about it later again, like they do

As Danielle's World Turns

As we rejoin our story.. during an outside lockdown, I had a severe flashback to Big Brother 6 when Danielle, Britney & Ashley lounged together and whisper-trashed Janelle who was across the yard.. it was uncanny how similar the scene was to Maggie, April & Ivette trashing Janelle, almost line for line at times.. I'm not calling them Nerd Herd 2.0 as they aren't a cohesive trio at all, but let's just say the shoe fit for awhile there.. this is probably my best cap of the season - clicky for a larger version, and happy chopping

Janelle paid a visit to Danielle after dinner to shmooze a bit, fish a bit, and plant a few seeds.. they were very friendly to each other, discussing votes and the like, plus girltalk.. Janelle offered to leave some dresses behind for Danielle.. they complimented each other a lot and while it perhaps wasn't sincere on either side, it sounded friendly

And then the retells began

Danielle told Britney first, and the story changed dramatically from it being a friendly chat to an attack by Janelle.. it got progressively more dramatic with each retell to Dan, Ian, Boogie, Shane, and Frank.. some people think I make this stuff up but I'm telling you, if I could do that, I'd be making a living as a writer.. when I quote them on this page or Twitter or Facebook, or in Lines of the Day, it's verbatim unless noted otherwise

With that in mind, Janelle's "we're friends, I didn't expect you to put me up" evolved in the retells to "you were supposed to be my friend, why would you put me up?" to "I can't believe I got backstabbed by a friend!".. Danielle's "I feel really bad about putting you up against a guy in a spiritard" became Janelle's "you even put me up against the one guy I can't stand in a spiritard"

During the initial chat, Danielle said "why are you being so sweet to me?" but her retells included "I knew the rage was coming" and "she keeps making stabs at me, and stabbing, and stabbing, and stabbing, and stabbing".. again, I couldn't make this up if I tried.. Flashback 8/6 8.03pm for the original - the retells began at 10.17pm and just kept coming, and escalating

Shane offered himself up as a pawn again, against Joe - Britney scolded him for that one (see Lines of the Day below).. Frank shmoozed Shane & Danielle by telling them Janelle had only been nominated twice in two seasons - and they bought it! Try 11 times, the BB record - see Attwx.com for the details plus more interesting BB stats of all kinds

The retells eventually died down and Shane started to fall asleep in Danielle's bed.. she roamed her hand under his shirt for awhile, checking his face for reactions that didn't appear.. it was very awkward and adolescent, and uncomfortable to watch.. he woke up asking if Janelle was still up (probably a buzzkill for Danielle? She might have been imagining their wedding)

Dan showed up and teased them a bit which embarrassed Danielle, and made me think she's not aware of us, the close-ups, the caps, the sites, the blogs, the chops, etc etc etc.. Janelle came up again and the three of them ignored her knocks at the door again - really? How old are we? At this rate Janelle just might wipe the floor with Danielle before she meets Julie, especially if we're graced with a booze delivery before Thursday.. she'll probably do it when she gets out here too, as Dan casually mentioned to Danielle

Ratings - Flock This edition

Ratings are Tuesday's, based on entertainment value, but Producers were downgraded Wednesday

Tuesday: I'm not looking forward to the stupid Flock to Unlock spam in my timeline Wednesday, but they get ups for a booze delivery because I sort of promised I'd be their best friend if that happened (yes, it's that easy to buy ups here), even if it didn't result in the excitement we'd hoped for. I'm pretty sure Janelle's pretty sure she's going, and another booze delivery tomorrow night would make things extra interesting. Please make it so? And throw in some extra? We've earned it with this group.

Wednesday: Yes they gave them booze for their party but they blocked it from us, theoretically due to music and copyright issues. You'd think they could make a phone call and get permission to play some songs or even shell out a few bucks to do so and/or do 20 minutes of research to get some public domain titles, but no. It's not their fault Janelle got sippy and didn't go busto on someone, but not being able to watch and be disappointed live by that is their fault, not to mention cake being head-butted and flung around the house. But they added severe insult to injury when they again went to fishies music to block a group hum of the fishies music.

TEAM JANELLE
She's entering Who? territory again.

TEAMIES: Frank, Ian, JennWON $6,000
It sure seems like the change between Thursday's down 'n out ready to quit and Friday's fully laid plan and flipped script was more than the result of a good night's sleep, but you know me, conspiracy theorist deluxe when it comes to BB. I understand that he could fool the ones who never heard of BB before June, but it's impossible to buy that the last Chilltown representative still doing reality TV could pull it off a third time! And with two vets and several knowledgable fans no less, but we could be headed there. It smelled very suspicous (and very foul) when he said producer 'Don Wollman's been a mentor of mine, 11 years together', don't you think?

TEAMIES: Shane, Willie, JoJo
She's got to be ready to 'shoot herself in the face' after soaking up as much of Danielle's stuff as she has, but she probably just wants to ensure Janelle gets gone without any mishaps or explosions. I hope we get a Diary or two about Danielle from her - we've earned it. She's said many times she doesn't want to be mean or catty this time but she's going overboard on Janelle, and Janelle's fans have noticed.. she'd come out of this a lot better if she'd gone after Danielle, but I have a feeling we'll get there too.

TEAMIES: Kara, Danielle, JodiWON sushi party
His work for this week is almost done and Clean Hands Dan will come out looking clean again, at least for now. He's very okay with sitting back and letting Danielle take the credit for his handiwork, but we all know whose HOH this was and so do they. I don't think he can keep juggling so many balls for much longer without dropping a few, especially when he has to constantly babysit Danielle. I bet he's wishing he'd kept Kara or Jodi.

TEAM DANHEAD OF HOUSEHOLD - USED VETO
She deserves ups for being the wreckiest hamster trainwreck we've ever had, but she's also exhausting to keep up with, so it's a resounding neutral for her. If Janelle figures everything out and goes off on her or somehow survives eviction, Danielle might freak out enough to quit. That could be fun, and it would also solve the pesky extra hamster problem they've got.

TEAM BOOGIE - NOMINATEDWON 1 week spiritard
His new catsuit is too small and the skirt's gone from wonky to janky, but he's being a reasonably good sport about it. I have to laugh when Janelle complains about him being farty, considering her bestie for two seasons in there was Howie. I just shake my head when people out here complain about his BO - is there a smell-o-vision app I'm unaware of? It's typical BB villification: repeat derogatory stuff about your enemy often enough and people will believe it, both in there and out here.

TEAM BOOGIEWON $3,000, 24 hour dog's life
I like his convos a lot whether gametalk or not, but I don't really understand his game. He told Jenn tonight that he liked his Dog's Life but he wouldn't have been able to handle 24 hours in solitary because he's 'too much a social creature'. Other times he's talked about having poor social skills because he's usually on his own, and can happily spend weeks at home without seeing other people. Maybe it's targeted advertising that changes depending who he's talking to. He also said tonight that he was on a teen edition of Jeopardy once, but he 'didn't win shit'.

TEAMIES: Wil, Ashley, Joe - NOMINATED
She seems this close to being resigned to go, and she's taking it well. She'll have a field day with Danielle's retells and other things when she gets out, not to mention when she finds out exactly what Dan & Britney have been up to. Her campaigning's rather transparent and even though this is far from the brightest group we've ever had, it isn't likely to be effective. But you know how they are: they might tip someone off in Diary or spring a Pandora or Coup de What since it's Janelle - wouldn't that blow things up? And while I doubt we'll see the likes of this again, I sincerely hope we get at least a 'bye bye bitches' on her way out.

TEAM BOOGIEWON $1,000, Hawaii trip
She's in the game now but I'm still posting daily Jenn Sightings since she's still hard to find on the feeds most of the time. I've discovered that when I do find her, I'm not crazy about what I hear. She hinted to Wil & Ashley that she's getting paid more than the standard $750 per week and if that's the case, she should bring more than the standard entertainment value and she just doesn't. I worry a little about her band: they were abandoned for the summer with no gigs.

TEAM JANELLE
HE'S HOLDING UP PRETTY WELL WITHOUT CIGS AND HASN'T SAID MUCH IF ANYTHING ABOUT NICOTINE WITHDRAWALS BUT HE REMAINS DIFFICULT TO LISTEN TO ANYWAY. I HOPE HE KEEPS COOKING FOR THEM BECAUSE IT DRIVES THEM NUTS EVEN THOUGH THEY EAT EVERY BITE AND COMPLIMENT HIM EVERY NIGHT. JANELLE PROMISED HIM ONE OF HER PUPPIES BUT HER DOGGIE'S PREGNANCY DIDN'T 'TAKE' SO THERE AREN'T ANY PUPPIES. AT LEAST HE WON'T BE ABLE TO SHOUT AT IT.

TEAM BRITNEYWON Veto ticket
He told Danielle tonight he's a virgin. She took it as a joke ('oh, sure') and that was that, but it would explain a LOT if it's true. He also told her to call him Whale Penis. She didn't, but I might.

TEAM JANELLEWON $5,000
He did a few skits tonight but he's still so far from fulfilling his potential that I'm just about finished giving him chances.

TEAM BRITNEY - WON nothing
She promised to bring it, but apparently she left it on Staten Island since she failed to fight even when confronted. She talked a lot but it was mostly the same loops over and over: she only gets along with East Coast girls, she's street-smart, she's loyal, and she's loyal, know what I mean? She was scouted via Facebook to get here, and that's where she should have stayed. Now she can get back to modeling and piloxing.

TEAM BRITNEY - WON nothing(Possibly forfeited stipend)
He spent two weeks laying in HOH bed, parannoying his brains out even though he was perfectly safe, and his fall from HOH was the hardest we've ever seen. He head-butted himself out the door when he might have been saved by veto, so he'll go into the BB blunders pile. I didn't come in with Hantzophobia so I'm grateful for the cheap entertainment he brought, especially the Froot Loops war and Willieisms like 'key-hos', 'corn-ho', and 'totin' pole'. He's the first hamster to pose for his mug shot while his season was still underway.

TEAM DAN - WON nothing
She brought a big name and rep to the show but didn't live up to either. She seemed like a nice enough girl but she didn't bring much to the feeds, and her sister wife wardrobe greatly disappointed her pre-existing fanbase. She'll be remembered for extra shiny knees and little else - she didn't even campaign to stay.

TEAM DAN, for a minute - WON nothing
Most were looking forward to seeing what she'd bring, but she got a raw deal and was gone before the feeds even kicked on. She'd said she was worried about lack of privacy & sleep, missing her family, and slop, so maybe BB wasn't for her, and she got away without airing any dirty laundry. It had to be humiliating to go back in for the group bikini pic but that's how they do things.
